Best Places To Stay In Moscow In 2025

Today I’m going to talk about the best places to stay in Moscow. And how to do this for foreigners during the sanctions in 2025, because now there are problems with payment, cards, etc. There is very little good content on this topic in English. I lived in Moscow for several years, and now I live in the city of Ryazan, 200 kilometers from Moscow, so I know Moscow locations and districts very well.

First of all, the content is aimed at the “mass user”, so on this page and on the site as a whole, we try to share a variety of flyhacks and options to save money on accommodation and vacations in the capital. There are many such opportunities, despite the myth that everything in Moscow is very expensive.

The best option for booking hotels in Moscow and Russia is the Trip.com service. On it you can pay by the usual means (VISA, Papal, Mastercard) In the past, many options were presented on Booking.com, but now the service does not work in the region.
